[Background and Overview][1]
Resorcinol, also known as resorcinol, has similar properties to phenol. It is a water-soluble colorless crystal at room temperature. It is flammable and has a sweet taste. It is easily soluble in water, alcohol and ether, and is insoluble in chloroform and tetrachloride. It contains carbon and benzene and has a faint special smell. Resorcinol is weakly acidic, but its acidity is stronger than carbonic acid. It will easily gradually turn light red when exposed to sunlight and air for a long time.
Resorcin is an important fine organic chemical raw material, widely used in agriculture, dyes, coatings, medicine, plastics, rubber, electronic chemicals, etc. field. Most of the finished resorcinol products are used to synthesize resins and adhesives. Adhesives such as resorcinol-formaldehyde resin and resorcinol-aldehyde-vinyl adhesion resin do not strengthen acid or strong alkali catalysts under neutral conditions and can be cured at room temperature. They are not affected by water. It does not corrode and does not cause decomposition of the adherend. It can be widely used in the tire industry to bond textile materials and rubber. At the same time, they can also bond textile fibers, wood, light metals, ceramics, plastics and elastomers, etc., so they also have special and important uses in the manufacture of laminated wood, ship hull structures, roof structures and laminated paper. Because the polycondensation reaction and curing speed of resorcin and formaldehyde are very fast, resorcin is often used to modify phenolic resins and urea resins. Adding a small amount of resorcinol to the mold of the above resin can accelerate the curing of the resin and make the product more water-resistant.
Resorcinol is an important dye intermediate, from which a series of azo dyes and fluorescent dyes are synthesized. Resorcinol is used as a fur dye and hair dye when mixed with catechol, amines and oxidants. Resorcinol is used as a developer in the photosensitive industry. Resorcinol can be used as an intermediate to synthesize m-aminophenol, p-aminosalicylic acid, resorcinol benzoate, resorcinol salicylate, resorcinol ethers, etc. Among them, mid-aminophenol is the starting material of anti-tuberculosis drugs. Resorcinol has a certain bactericidal effect, so it is often used to make ointments and apply externally to treat fungal infections. Generally speaking, resorcin derivatives are less toxic than resorcin itself, so resorcin-acetate or n-hexylresorcin are often used as intestinal disinfectants. In addition, because resorcinol and its derivatives can form colored precipitates or solutions with many substances, they can be used as chemical analysis reagents.
